Before You Choose a Spouse
from Proclamation Station Hosted by Revs. Louis and April Jenkins
Choosing a spouse is one of the most important decisions a person can make. While the Bible does not give us a dream-spouse checklist for looks, height, hairstyle, occupation, or every personal preference we might imagine, it does give us wisdom about what to look for, what to avoid, and how to seek God’s guidance before making a lifelong covenant. In this episode of Proclamation Station, we reflect on the importance of choosing a spouse God’s way. Instead of relying only on attraction, emotion, or personal preference, believers are called to trust the Lord, seek His wisdom, and consider the heart, character, faith, and spiritual direction of the person they may marry. This episode also reminds us that marriage has a biblical design. Before taking vows, couples should understand what God expects in marriage, pray together, seek godly counsel, and avoid choices that pull them away from the Lord. Scripture warns us not to be unequally yoked and reminds us that beauty fades, but a person who fears the Lord is worthy of praise. Listen now and be encouraged to seek God first, trust His direction, and let His Word guide you before you choose a spouse.
